Gustav Nilsonne explores how copyright and licensing can advance open science, highlighting the importance of rights retention and best practices to overcome legal uncertainties and strengthen transparency and reproducibility in research.
Monica Granados explains how intellectual property is foundational to Creative Commons licenses and emphasises the need for stronger education on copyright within open science, so researchers can share knowledge more effectively and responsibly.
Richard Gold highlights how patents are often misused in drug innovation and emphasises the need for a deeper understanding of intellectual property tools, enabling researchers to choose strategies that genuinely support their goals.
Julia Priess-Buchheit introduces the IP4OS project, helping researchers and their supporting ecosystems to use intellectual property and open science in a coordinated way to strengthen innovation and knowledge sharing.
Katharina Miller reflects on the challenges of aligning intellectual property rights with open science, emphasising the need for greater awareness, responsible data sharing, and capacity building to foster a more inclusive and transparent research culture.
Chris Morrison talks about the role of copyright in open science, highlighting the need for better alignment and collaboration between intellectual property and research communities, and advocating for copyright literacy to help researchers make informed, confident decisions about sharing their work.
Frantzeska Papadopoulou discusses how open science and intellectual property can successfully coexist when guided by conscious policies, stressing the need to educate researchers and institutions on both fields to foster responsible and collaborative innovation.
Tim Errington explores how licensing shapes the relationship between intellectual property and open science, focusing on the need for clarity, balance, and collaboration to ensure that IP supports rather than limits innovation and the broader impact of research.
Learn how SPRs work and how these rights are implemented in Europe (in Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, and Bulgaria) through real-world experiences from researchers and librarians.
The webinar focuses on how the team led by Richardson discovered the sale of thousands of design registrations under the guise of “patents” as an explicit ploy for academics to pad their CVs and improve their standing in institutional rankings.
Alessandra Baccigotti, an expert in knowledge transfer and innovation, shares key insights on reconciling intellectual property management with open science in university contexts.
As there exists no one approach to OS, there is no one IP strategy that fits them all. Rather, the goal of those managing OS projects is to mix and match the various forms of formal and informal IP mechanisms to achieve the goals of each project. This webinar describes how to build an IP strategy to match project goals.
Professor Frantzeska Papadopoulou introduces participants to Secondary Publication Rights as a legal tool to support Open Access. She explains how they allow researchers to republish their work, even if publishers initially hold exclusive rights, after an embargo period.
Tim Errington highlights the value of open science for increasing transparency and trust, while also acknowledging the practical and legal tensions this may cause, particularly regarding intellectual property.
Chris Morrison, a leading expert on copyright literacy, takes the audience on a lively exploration of the intersection between copyright, libraries, and open science.
The webinar presents the specialist book on the Creative Commons Public License (CCPL) published in 2025. Fabian Rack is one of the editors and co–editor-in-chief. In addition, recent developments related to Creative Commons and artificial intelligence are discussed.
